MCQ
Which of the following statement is correct?
  • A
    Energy difference should be more between orbitals which undergo hybridization.
  • B
    Number of hybrid orbitals formed should be same as the number of atomic orbitals involved in hybridization.
  • C
    Hybrid orbitals arrange around the center of the atom unsymmetrically.
  • D
    Hybrid orbitals can form π bonds.

Answer

  1. Number of hybrid orbitals formed should be same as the number of atomic orbitals involved in hybridization.

Explanation:

Number of hybrid orbitals formed is equal to number of atomic orbitals involved in hybridisation. $\pi$ bonds will be formed always by pure orbitals (p or d orbitals). Hybrid orbitals arrange around the centre of atom gymmetrically depending on number of bond pairs and lone pairs.
